How can I view .pdf files in a Firefox window?

When I click on a .pdf link, Firefox will download the file to my desktop. It is very good.

Sometimes, however, I would prefer that Firefox simply open the .pdf document in a new window. I know it used to work that way, but he stopped some time ago. How can I control this behavior?

I looked in Preferences > Applications and selected on 'pdf '. Two entries stood under "Type of content:

 "Preview.app Document (application/po..."

and

 "Portable Document Format (PDF)".

The two entries have the same 'Action': 'use PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 (in Firefox).

Oops. I just thought of it. Entry PDF has (only) a menu option drop down additional to the title of the Action: "Preview in Firefox. I tried it and it works!

I guess the old PDF Browser Plugin 2.4.4 must have leave some time ago to work.

Hi GilDawson,

According to your assignment of the original question, you seem to have solved the problem yourself. Do you still need help with your question or are we good here?

Thank you!

  • How can I index PDF files that reside on a Unix server?

    I was amazed the week last to discover that our Web site does not support PDF research opportunities. Apparently, we're going to get it soon. But when that day comes, I think we need to index our PDFs. I know I can do it for a Windows Server. But, how can I do to a Unix server?

    Thank you

    Peter

    No, not at all. "Indexing" is a stange inconsistent term used for this connection. I guess you really want is a search engine that includes PDF as HTML content. The term 'indexing' might mean 'account with all the text in a file and the addition of words available for research.

    Acrobat uses "Indexing" to mean precisely creating a set of files used by Acrobat itself to find several PDF files. But it is a thing of local file, not a web thing. In this way the indexing of PDF files must be used on the web is bad, but also not good.

    There are two main approaches to web search engines.

    1 premises. Software runs on the local computer and can read the files on the web site. In fact a kind of file, may be called an index. Local software on the web server uses this information to display that you lead.

    2 remote connection. Google is a prime example of this. Visits of the websites ("spiders") to play the files, made his own 'index' and the research on the sites.

    Google (and other search engines) are often seen only as a means of the world wide web to research. But they can be used to search for single servers in their list of everyone, as in https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=indexing+Pdfs+site%3Aadobe.com

    An interesting variation of what was for sale a few years ago, is the "google appliance" for use on private networks (intranets). He was sitting on the local network and done things like google but only with the local network. Then, there was a 'local google' for all local machines.

    One last thing: your customers are not likely to find satisfying if she must search for PDF files and the HTML format of research with a different engine.

  • How can I view individual files that have been backed up? I will restore all files, not just a few specific?

    Recently, I backed up my files, such as registered and deleted from my HARD drive.  Restarting resolved a number of issues.  Now, I need to restore specific files a few I.e. 'my music '.  How can I find and restore individual files or folders WITHOUT restoring those that were responsible for the problems that CAUSED problems.  I want to remove most of the backup and save a few folders/files.

    How can I watch them?  I tried to 'Search' for 'my music' and some specific mp3 and names without success.

    See if this will help.

  • If an illustrator file has links with spot colors, how can I create PDF files with process colors?

    My file has shades of tones that came with the linked logo, I could not find a way to convert those shades of colors quadri.

    I need to send PDF on a printer with only process colors, I know that the printer can choose to convert spot colors to process when printing with printer within Acrobat Panel, but since we do not print, we need to send files to print ready with process colors only.

    Is there a way or a script to make PDF file generated from Illustrator with process colors only?

    You could try object > flatten transparency and clear colors to preserve overprints and Spot.

    I set the preset high resolution and turn on the preview to see if something dramatic is going to happen.

    After that, you can check the file of color dot in the separations Preview Panel.

  • How can I convert PDF files to text EPUB?

    I want to files ePub simple, legible, without excess of formatting and especially bad formatting such as erratic font size changes, additional line breaks, etc. I want to be able to sideload these of my ebook reader and check these without eye strain.

    I can copy the text from the pdf document and if necessary filter in Textedit, although I have rsi and want to avoid too many extra steps.

    iBooks author is supposed to be for multitouch. I am disabled and cannot use the multitouch. I installed it anyway, but it is heavy on the custom formatting, when I don't want any layout format further, just plain text, paragraph breaks, chapter breaks and a functional table of contents.

    I do not use iBooks himself, because I had trouble with this passage from the titles, etc. from one file to another, making it more difficult to find the right file of the wrong title.

    Have you done a google search on "convert pdf to epub?  Have you tried all the solutions mentioned?

    Because the PDF is not really intended to be transformed into something else, the results of these processes are often poor.  What is the purpose of your doing this - to allow you to change the police and the font size?  Calibre is a common conversion application.  See
